Calling all dog owners using Peckham Rye park to walk their dogs.


The darling little dog that I walk for my friend was subjected to an unprovoked attack today in the Park.


The dog responsible was a blue staffordshire called Blue and his owner has another staffordshire - either brindle or brown - I don't remember.


The dog owner was lax in responding to the situation where Blue had picked up my friend's dog in his mouth and was about to shake him. The brown/brindle dog was joining in the "game" but did not attack my friend's dog.


I rushed him straight over to the Neighbourhood Vet Centre and he was treated immediately. Turns out he has (at least) a punctured lung and broken ribs, he's in immense pain and in shock and he may need surgery to repair his diaphragm.


I didn't hang around to say anything to Blue's owner, as I just wanted to get my friend's dog, Morph, seen immediately.


However, when at the vet, the vet herself said her dog was nearly attacked by this very same dog, BLUE, only yesterday.


Please be very, very alert and keep your dogs with you on a lead if you see these dogs out in the park whilst you're there. The dog is not vicious per se, but clearly the owner was either unconcerned or has no idea how to control his dogs.


This happened completely unexpectedly - we were just playing with the ball and our dog. My 6 year old son witnessed this attack and Morph is his best friend - so you can imagine how distressed he was by the whole incident.


Morph is now spending the night in emergency care :( PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR DOG BE A VICTIM OF BLUE TOO.

Oh no :( Morph is tiny! I hope he's going to be alright, can you give a description of the owner please? I walk everyday with my small dogs and my friends 2 small dogs also where abouts in the park did it happen? Good luck little Morph xxx

Bonniebird- I think morph will be ok. The next couple hours or so will tell :( he is such a little poppet.


The dogs owner is a black guy - possibly late 20's /early 30's.The dog, Blue, had a broad pink collar her, I think.


It was terrifying - he weighs under 3 kg and he didn't stand a chance of defending himself. It happened on the Corner coming out on to the large patch of grass opposite the boys school.

[email protected] Please email the safer neighbourhood team address to the left. And also report this to the police as well although 999 maybe now inappropriate.


So sorry to read this - just awful. Glad the Neighbourhood vets are there!

I'm devastated to say that darling little Morph just died of his injuries sustained by the attack he received today from Blue, the blue Staffordshire terrier.


PLEASE keep vigilant for this now killer dog and keep your dogs out of harms way. Don't let your dog be the next needless victim.

Might be worth having a chat with Mark Newell, the head warden at the park too. Maybe a chat with the owner from him might help. It sounds as though this dog perhaps needs a muzzle if it's off the leash.


You can email Mark at [email protected]


And I hope Morph has a speedy recovery.....sounds as though it could have ended far worse.

Oh I am so sorry to read that....just posted on the other thread wishing Morph well.....


Please let Mark Newell the park warden know. I've put his contact email on the other thread but will pm you his number. It can not be that a dog is allowed to put other people's dogs in danger like this. Someone needs to have a chat with the owner of this other dog and asap.

oh gosh I am so sorry to hear this = I must have missed this by 10 minutes leaving with my own dog at the gate oppo the boys school. It is so frustrating that some dog owners are so irresponsible with the vast majority kind and considerate. It seems positively daft that the police will not get involved unless people are the victims. I cannot imagine how your poor child is feeling.


Will keep eyes peeled and yes, maybe Mark the warden could be alerted to this kind of thing

I had to rush him straight to the vet. Otherwise I would have got the details. Not telling my kids till tomorrow- they will be just as devastated.


I don't know how his mum will cope - he was her precious boy and the light of her life.

I am so sick and helpless in the face of these dickheads who own bull breeds and can't handle them. What is to be done? I'm so sorry to hear about this. I have a scar on my left calf when a bull breed bit me when I was out running in Burgess Park. The owners were a middle aged couple, do not the usual goon that own this type of dog. Pisses me off.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
